[Intro (Petrus, Marie Kanter)]
Oh yeah, are you willing and able to shake it for me, girl?
I'm ready whenever you feel like it
Then, I got a question for you
Can you swing your hips like the other girls out there?
What do you think?
Well, I don't know
Do you want me to prove it to you?
I'd like that
Alright then, check it out
[Chorus (choir)]
Can you swing ya hips in front of me?
Can you swing it to Mr. Funk, oh gee
Can you shake the room here just for me
And swing it to the muscles all on Petrus, gee
[Chorus (choir)]
Can you swing ya hips in front of me?
Can you swing it to Mr. Funk, oh gee
Can you shake the room here just for me
And swing it to the muscles all on Petrus, gee
[Verse 1 (Petrus, Marie Kanter, Petrus & Marie Kanter)]
Diggin' in my star when I tell you 'bout the real life
Well, who are you to me?
When you come in here to petrify, I know well, well
Who are you to tell? Come in here swell
I know my name is crazy, but for you I mean well
I wanna get some
You wanna get what?
You never touch my body 'cause I know I mean squat
Yes, indeed, I wanna see you when you shake your funky hips, then
I got a cruiser later, maybe give you tips then
Well, do I really feel like the way that I do?
When I'm close to break it down, I'm independent like you
Baby, you wanna swing it, then I call you no fool
I like to do it by myself, but then together we're cool
Well, I suggest we get together and the party we bring
Well, I like the way you move it
And I like the way you swing
So we get the crowd, go jumpin' all wild
And swing their hips to beat this funk tonight
[Chorus (choir)]
Can you swing ya hips in front of me?
Can you swing it to Mr. Funk, oh gee
Can you shake the room here just for me
And swing it to the muscles all on Petrus, gee
[Chorus (choir)]
Can you swing ya hips in front of me?
Can you swing it to Mr. Funk, oh gee
Can you shake the room here just for me
And swing it to the muscles all on Petrus, gee
[Post-Chorus]
Swing yeah, can you swing ya hips for me?
Can you swing it for Petrus gee?
Can you swing yeah, can you swing ya hips for me?
Can you swing it for Petrus gee?
(Swing ya hips for me)
[Verse 2 (Petrus, Marie Kanter, Petrus & Marie Kanter)]
Petrus, so Petrus, tell me what the trouble is
I try, listen good and give the best advice that I could give
Oh no, this is not drive, listen up now
You're a different chick, oh well, I'm giving you advice now
This is what we do, we're gonna get down
I said this is what we do, we're gonna swing around
When there is a lot of different party people in the house now
They wanna get together jump up and stay down
Who's Devsey? Give it a microphone and get with me
Swing your body now, oh yeah
They said quickly: Who's the man? Jump up and jump up
I say who's the man? Jump up and jump up
I use my mic and he cuts like an eye
But I know you're not a murderer, I'm just high
So get your ass down on the damn floor, there's a mission
Shield, baby, baby, shield, baby, that's a mission
[Chorus (choir)]
Can you swing ya hips in front of me?
Can you swing it to Mr. Funk, oh gee
Can you shake the room here just for me
And swing it to the muscles all on Petrus, gee
[Chorus (choir)]
Can you swing ya hips in front of me?
Can you swing it to Mr. Funk, oh gee
Can you shake the room here just for me
And swing it to the muscles all on Petrus, gee
[Post-Chorus (choir)]
Swing yeah, can you swing ya hips for me?
Can you swing it for Petrus gee?
Can you swing yeah, can you swing ya hips for me?
Can you swing it for Petrus gee?
[Bridge (Petrus)]
Can you swing ya hips in front of me?
Can you swing it to Mr. Funk, oh gee
Can you shake the room here just for me
And swing it to the muscles all on Petrus, gee
Can you swing ya hips in front of me
Can swing it to the muscles all on Petrus, gee
Can you shake the room here just for me
Or whatever
[Chorus (choir)]
Can you swing ya hips in front of me?
Can you swing it to Mr. Funk, oh gee
Can you shake the room here just for me
And swing it to the muscles all on Petrus, gee
[Chorus (choir)]
Can you swing ya hips in front of me?

And swing it to the muscles all on Petrus, gee
